Ajith P. Perera raised a Point of Order challenging claims in the President’s Budget speech on energy policy, noting that page 21 lists four proposed items rather than ten. He questioned whether an energy hub or related policy had actually been established and argued that no new measures had been identified beyond the earlier “Solar Power Revolution” and the previously added 1,400 MW of capacity.

¶ 01 Point of Order. The President’s Budget speech, page 21, lists four items to be done—not ten. Have you established an energy hub? Is there a policy? What is new beyond the “Solar Power Revolution” and the 1,400 MW added previously? Please don’t claim things not done.
